CVE-2012-5573

The connection_edge_process_relay_cell function in or/relay.c in Tor
before 0.2.3.25 maintains circuits even if an unexpected SENDME cell
arrives, which might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (memory consumption or excessive cell reception rate) or
bypass intended flow-control restrictions via a RELAY_COMMAND_SENDME
command.
